The 8,500 is what to go by. Some say to stay at 80% of your rating to be on the safe side, but i dont know about that...

Yep. That GCWR includes the weight if your truck. Big cabs, 4-wheel drvie, and etc decrease your toe capacity. I learned, too late i might add, that a higher gear ratio will drastically decrease your rating also.
